had already been in progress two years. An
other thing which we fail to understand is
the nature Of the Ordnarce Boards recent
operations on that vessel. We hid supposed
that as early as July, 1886, they were laying
tracks, hammcring rivcts and a cmptins to
pivot the guns and that for nearly twelve
months they were actively employed in
mounting the guns. II the work OF fsstcn-
ing the guns to the deck YVES principally
executed as well as designed before he ship
was launched, what have the experts and
mechanics been doing during the last twelve
months
Possibly Captain Rsmsays Board cen ma
cut, if the Secretary will authorize
it to make thorough inve tgation. The
.'monkeying" with those guns has been done
since the .Secrctary's term began, and even
if he received the O'dnarce Bureau organ
ization, as he says, as heritage from his
predecessor, the Administration is responsible
for the incompetence displayed

ON personal property rs per cent OF the tota
assessment on such property in the state
While the city has been adding to Its PER
sonal valuation the majority of the othe'
counties in tie State have been taking al
opposite course. At the same time consider,
ABLY over onc-half of the increased valuation
Of real property in the State during the last
ten years has taken place in this city.
All efforts on the part of the city to gel
some benefit from this increase in its valua-
tons. when the State taxes are apportioncd
have resulted in failures. About $SOO,OOC
of the share of the taxes that falls on other
counties, according to their returns OF valua-
tions. is added to New -York's quota through
the simple process of " eqnalizing' the assess
ments. Hence the increasing of valuations
bv the CITY ONLY adds to its burdens in the
way of State taxation.
The need of some charge in existing laws
on this subject is admitted by all Some
claim that the best way would be to relieve
real estate of all taxation for State purposes, as
is done in Pennsylvania and other States
A Icing step in that direction would have been
accomplished had the Veddcr bills to tax
liquor-shops and bucket shops become laws
In vetong those bills Governor Hill added
materially to the tax bills Of property owners
In this city and throughout the State The
veddcr committee proposed to mature othel
bills on this subject but the Governor vetoed
the appropriation for its expenses. 1t will bt
worth while for taxpayers to remember these
facts when they next 60 to the polls, as the
Democratic party shares with Governor Hill
the responsibility for the defeat of these re-
lief measures

INCREASED TAxATION IN THE CITY

INCREASED TAXATION IN THE CITY.
The increased valuation Of property as
scsscd for taxation in this city is not to be
viewed as an unmixed benefit. Its advantage
in keeping down the tax-rate is more apparent
than real. It's disadvantage in adding 70 the
city's apporionment Of the State taxes is I'M
fortunately more real than apparent No
matter how much the city increases its own
valuations the State Assessors invariably add
about 500 600 600 more to the city's aggrc-
gate. II the increase was proportionate
throughout the State there would be less cause
for complaint But such is not the case.
Tie city has increased its aggregate valua-
tons this year to the amount Of $50, 1872. 900.
OF this increase $36,o00OO0 is in personal
property. This makes the city's assessment

SECRETARY WHITNEY'S EXPLANATIONS.

SECRETARY WHITNEY'S EXPLANATIONS.
Secretary Whitney his found it necessary
to interpret his extraordinary instructions TO
Captain Ramsays Board. lie takes Wash
ington correspondent of "Thc Herald into
his confidence, and explains that ne docs not
intend that wilful injury shall be done to
the Atlanta or to tho guns and carriages.
The purpose of the Department, he asserts,
is to exhaust its means Of information, and
to ascertain what the defects are in the pres
ent armament of the vessel before setting
about correcting them.
The Secretary was certainly most
unfortunate in his method OF ex-
pressing that intention. When the reports
of the target practice reached Washington,
he made a brave show of energy. The At
lanta was intended "a fighting ship, he
said; q full test "shculd be had at once
she should have cruise at sea sufficiently
long to sub jet her to trial in all weathersu
and her battery should be te8ted by actual
firing. On the same day he wrote to Captain
Ramsay stating that the Department wa,
DESTROYS of having the guns and carriages
thoroughly tested las nearly as possible in
tho manner and with the rapidity which
would be necessary in BATTLE. and instruct
ing the Board {" to take her 1.-THE Atlanta Ia
sea and have general exercise of great
guns, noting carefully the result OF the firing
on the guns. the gun-carriagcs and the hull
and tho fittings of the ship itef The
Secretary would now like to have the public
| infer that these orders TO take the ship Il
sea for general exercise Of the guns IA they
would be used in battle were meant in a
Piclxwickian sense The fact remains thai
the instructions cannot be carried out without
injury to the vessel To talk OF general gun
PRACTICE at sea and in all kinds Of weather
after the target-fring had shown that the
guns wero kicking all over the deck was
the height Of folly.
While the Secretary has moderated his yea
for battle firing and deep-sea tests, he still
recoils upon the last Administration. "The
fact is" he says, the guns, carriages and
clips and circles-that Is, the method of fast
ening the carriages to the deck Of the ship
were des gned and principally executed in
1882, 1888 and 1884, We arc utterly at O
loss to understand how the method of fast
ening the carriages to the deck could have
been principally executed before the vessel
was completed. Work on tho Atlanta was
not begun al tho Roach shil-y yard until 1873 |,
yet If we may believe the Secrotry, the
business Of fastening the guns to her decks

because he "inbc,ited the organization Of that
branch of the service from bis predecessor.
Tn like manner he "inherited' the entire Navy
Department from Secretary Chandler. II ne
does make any mistakes or IL anything goes
wrong he must not be held responsible, but the
mischief must be laid at the door OF the last
Republican Administration. from which the or
ganization Of each of the eight bureaus has
been inherited
Three Democratic postmasters have been caught
stealing in Ohio in three months. "The rascals'
are getting in their work.
Now that Mr. Cleveland has withdrawn his
decIination of his acceptance OF the 81.
Louis invitation, it Is to be hoped tnat
nothing will occur to induce him to revoke MS
withdrawal of his dcclination of his acceptance.
Or IL he should conclude to do so 1t Is to be
hoped for the sake Of his reputation for decision
of character that nothing will induce him 20
annul his revocation of his withdrawal OF bis
declination of his acceptance.
Mayor Hewitt adds spice to the meetings Of
the Subway Commission. II he succeeds In pre-
venting politicians of the Cornell kind from being
appointed as electrical inspectors he will prove
himself desirable acquisition to the Commission.
Policeman Martin Fay. who made an un-
provoked attack on Daniel Kern and nearly
killed him on Sunday morning, is rated at Police
HEADQUARTERS as a man of vicious temper and
brutal instincts 1t is to be feared that toe
many such men get on the police force. II
is small punishment for such man rs Fay 70
dismiss him from the force. He ought to be
dealt with by the courts the same as any other
criminal. The practice Of the Police Court
Judges and the District-Attorney of leaving such
cases to be dealt with by the Police Board
Is altogether wrong The Commissioners have
not the power of magistrates A policeman who
makes an unnecessary and unprovoked use Of
his club is liable to exactly the Same punishment
as any citizen, and he ought to be dealt with IL
the same manner.
St. Louis is a big town, but IL Is not large
enough to hold Presidential Dignity and Union
Loyalty at once.
Eugene Higgins. in the opinion OF The New
York WOrld,o must have some invisible and
mysterious hitch on the position which ne holds.
All, yes Perhaps the hitch in question Is twin
10 the hitch to which Attorney Garland is hitched
The South is for Cleveland, body and soul,
is the emphatic exclamation Of Congressman
Wheeler, OF Alabama. Why the South Is FOL
Cleveland must be plain to the average observer
| OF the trend Of itical affairs. IL Is because
| Cleveland Is for the South and knows how neces
sary the support of that section is to the fur
therance of his political ambi lon 1t is surmised
in Washington that General Wheeler is after ar
| office and that qud pro quo will soon be forth
coming. Whether this be so or not,it Is probable
that his diagnosis of Southern feeling is correct

To condemn election frauds and intimidation Of
the negroes is an objectionable sin in the South.
Lewis II. Blair, wealthy and prominent busi-
ness man Of Richmond, Va, has recently ex-
pressed his disapproval of such methods, and as q
result the Democratic City Committee. of which
he was a member, met and requested him TO re-
sign. He will probably find himself boycotted
socially and in every other way. The Democrats
are ut least consistent in this matter, because II
fair elections were guaranteed the party would
Immediately become hopeless minority. Hence
they cannot tolerate q man who has the courage
to condemn election frauds.

Senator Sherman for an Endorsement of his

ances do not indicate any row. The Blaine
delegates seem to care little what is done
nearly year in advance of the time Of elect

and they are disposed to disappo;nt the DEM

elect the Governor and State officers, and on
that all Republicans are agreed.
